there's someone out there waiting for you to apologize. maybe it's time to do it.
Chapter 1: What is the worst joke shared in this episode?
I have told a lot of really bad jokes in my lifetime, but there is one that takes the cake as the worst. It was at a high school graduation party, and I saw that my friend was wearing his new necklace, and it looked incredible. It was this silver, long, rectangular necklace with a jewel on it. I'll never forget it. And it kind of looked like a very popular nicotine-inhaling device. The jewel.
It looked like it. So I said, hey, man, I love your jewel necklace. You can vape out of it. And he looks at me and he says, thanks, my mom's ashes are in them. Oh, my God. The whole rest of the night, I was thinking it was over for me. It was done. Just like that. A homie that I've known for a good amount of years, a good amount of childhood, there was no coming back.
But it was later into the night that I finally mustered up the courage and I was just like, hey, I'm sorry. That was really out of pocket. That was really messed up for me to say. I actually really like your necklace and I think it's beautiful. And he says, dude, I totally know you were kidding and you didn't know. It's okay. We made amends and later we played spike ball and everybody clapped.
Chapter 2: How can an apology mend friendships?
Moral of the story, just say sorry. Man, just say sorry. Apologize. Apologize when something is your bad because a lot of people don't. They don't own up to it. They will act like, oh, well, I didn't know, so why should I apologize? I had no idea. Just say sorry. Just say sorry. Now, there's certain things you shouldn't be sorry for, but if you feel bad about it, you should say sorry about it.
Chapter 3: Why is it important to say sorry?
Sorry about that. Sorry about that. On some yeet, you should say sorry.
About that. Because it seems like a lot of us harbor emotions and we hold grudges. I mean, I think this is like a normal human thing.
Chapter 4: How do grudges affect our lives?
And it's not healthy. And I get it. It's hard. It's so hard not to hold grudges and it's so hard to like, you know, pretend like, okay, well, you know, it is what it is. But you know what? The older you get, the more you realize that grudges are stupid and they're dumb. I have family members that have grudges that are like siblings and they have had grudges 30, 40 years.
That's the way you want to live your life. now listen sometimes friends even family are going to be toxic and you don't want that in your life and you want to you know you got to distance yourself i get that that's a whole different beast whole different animal that you got to tackle but a lot of things that are small i think can be resolved by just saying sorry apologizing
Chapter 5: What should you do when someone wrongs you?
But you can't expect an apology from somebody. I've learned this the hard way. There are people who did me really dirty in my life that really, really messed me up. I was a happy camper and then they came and just like started thunderstorming on my campsite and then they transformed into a bear and went through my campsite and ate all my food and then they pooped everywhere. I mean, it just sucks.
Because I wake up and I'm like, bruh. Where's my Yeti cooler at? And it's gone. Paid a lot of money for that. So that kind of blows, right? But you can't expect people to come and say sorry. If somebody wants to say sorry, they will say sorry. But if somebody doesn't give a frig, for lack of a better word, it's over. You can't expect them to go out and be like, oh, well, I noticed you were sad.
Chapter 6: How to approach someone you need to apologize to?
Sometimes it's telling them, hey, I'm sorry for not talking to you, but you've been... The thing that you did at that party really rubbed me the wrong way. And maybe you didn't mean to do that, but I didn't appreciate that. Maybe they don't even know. But I'm convinced that a good portion of the time, they probably know.
They probably have a hunch, like, ooh, that was kind of cringe, or like, ooh, I did that. And some people, they don't care. They don't care. Yeah, I said it, and? What, you're mad? You're mad? You're mad? But that's not most people. Most people will be like, oh, I didn't even know. I'm sorry. Like, I don't want this to be weird between us. We can we can figure this out.
And then you say, yes, we can figure it out. Pay me two hundred and fifty thousand dollars so I can buy a house. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Don't do that. Don't extort your friends for money. Unless you have a really good reason to. Like, let's be real, okay? Because low-key, I was looking into buying one of those Stanley Cups, and they're kind of expensive.
So, you know, you got to do what you got to do. Oh, you're sorry? Well, prove it with a Stanley Cup. The Messi edition. Messi is coming out with a Stanley Cup. You guys know about this? Lionel Messi? Lionel? Crazy. Anyways. But yeah, just say sorry. Sorry about that. Just say it. Just say it. It really can ease a lot of things that are rough.
I have some friends coming into town very, very soon who I've been on rocky terms with. I haven't been a good friend with them. I've been kind of schmid because I've had my own insecurities that I've projected on them and I, I had to say sorry to them. I had to apologize and be like, Hey, you, you were making me feel this type of way. And like, I hope you can see that from my perspective.
Um, and that's why I acted in this way, but it wasn't, it wasn't right. And a lot of the time, like with my homies, they're like, you know what? You're right. And, and, and let's make amends. Let's be homies. Like, let's be on good terms. It's life is too short to be worrying about, you know, well, you didn't help me when I needed help. What's wrong with you? Sometimes people can't help you.
Sometimes you got to do it on your own. That's just what it is. Sometimes you have friends that you've been friends with for years and then they go into hiding and it is what it is. It is what it is. Sometimes you need to take a break from people. Sometimes you just want to be alone. I get it. Nothing wrong with that either. I love being alone. I love it. Do I wish sometimes I had a girlfriend?
Yes. Like every day. This is me being very vulnerable. Yes, every day. But I also love being alone and spending time with myself. And sometimes that means I don't respond to people. I don't text people back. And when I do, I just say sorry. And if they're really your true homie, they'll understand. They'll get it. They'll be like, you know what? Valid. Bro's on his own mission.
He's doing a side quest. You know, it is what it is. It's fine. I mean, how do you think I hike up to these beautiful places? I don't be doing it with a whole posse of people. It's just me a lot of the time. And my homie Gdini. Shout out Gdini.
